Dehydration: You need to start drinking a lot more water. If you continue you may develop kidney problems. You should be urinating every 2-3 hours.

Low urine output: If you are drinking adequate amounts of fluid and you are putting out a small amount of urine, you must be gaining weight. Look at your ankles in the afternoon and if they are swollen, you are forming edema. That will increase your weight daily. If you have edema, go to an emergency room and get evaluated for heart and/or kidney disease. Your urine output is clearly not in the normal range.
